Nine Warwick art exhibitions are set to take place in a countywide event this June.

Warwickshire Open Studios' Summer Art Weeks will see over 400 artists across Coventry and Warwickshire display their work for free this June.

In Warwick there will be exhibitions at King's Hill School for Girls as well as at Coach House Studio and Gallery.

Whilst seven other artists will be showcasing their work mainly from their own homes.

Whilst there is no expectation on guests to buy work at any of the 149 countywide venues, local creatives will be selling their pieces throughout the event.

The weeks will run between 18 June to 3 July and all the details can be found on the art weeks map here.

In Warwick you will be able to see:

  • A mixed display of work from King's High School For Girls.
  • Drawings and paintings from Esme Fergusson.
  • Painting and printmaking from Christine Hodges.
  • Sculptures from David Dewis
  • Mixed media from Kate Harvey
  • Textiles with Mandy Addenbrooke.
  • Art in Wharf Street at Coach House Studio & Gallery.
  • Photography from Robert Shuttleworth.
  • Drawings from Isabel Cooper

Organisers said: "This year's is a bumper year, as we have over 400 artists and makers taking part at 149 venues across Warwickshire and Coventry.

"From bars to barns, cafes to churches, galleries to gazebos, halls to hallways, you'll find amazing original art presented by the talented creators.

"As well as the many new artists taking part this year, those you may have visited previously will be sharing new work.

"And all at affordable prices should you be tempted to treat yourself or buy a gift for a loved one.

"As ever though, there's genuinely no expectation to buy anything.

"But if you do, you can be sure the artist will do a happy dance. Entry is free to all our venues and everyone's welcome, so why not start planning your visits today?"

But before the art weeks get underway, Warwickshire Open Studios is running a smaller showcase for local artists in Coventry.

Nearly 100 artists from Warwickshire and Coventry submitted a piece to be part of the Litton Tree Summer Show.

 The exhibition runs at the Litten Tree, Coventry, between 12pm and 4pm from Thursday, June 2 to Saturday, 11 June. 

 The exhibition will include 2D and 3D pieces across the full range of art forms.

More info and a gallery of the work can be found at here.
